Update: 2016 Award Season Screenplay Downloads — 44 Total!

For movie lovers and especially those interested in screenwriting, this is a great time of year as Hollywood studios and production companies have their annual ritual of making the year's movie scripts available to the public. As I update them here and add them to the site's script archive, what this means is unlike other sites, all scripts here are both free and legal.

Current total of 2016 scripts for download: 44.

For background on how Go Into The Story helped secure the public release of The Invitation script, go here.

As the scripts become available, we add them to our Movie Script Download archive which is now approaching 200 screenplays from movies released during the last 6 years.

There are probably 5–10 more 2016 movie scripts to be made public in January including La La Land which I have confirmed with one of the movie's producers.

Many thanks to Sarah Grimes, Alecia Hodges, and Paul Huffman who are doing us all a solid by tracking the studio and production company sites for new script releases.

Reading movie screenplays is absolutely critical to your development as a screenwriter. Along with watching movies and writing pages, it is a fundamental practice you should put into place. Make it a goal to read at least one movie script per week.

Where can you go to get access to many of the top movie scripts from 2016? Right here at Go Into The Story! And to learn when they first come online, follow me on Twitter: @GoIntoTheStory.

How was it working with Gary Oldman? Like driving a Ferrari for the first time, according to Luc Besson. The writer-director behind this summer’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets recently took to Reedit to promote his upcoming comic book adaptation. The gregarious filmmaker shared a few memories from some of our favorite works of his, The Fifth Element, Leon, andLa Femme Nikita.If you want to know which other actors the director had in mind for Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) and Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker), then check out some of the more entertaining answers from the Luc Besson Reddit AMA below.The other day the new trailer came out for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which looks unlike any other big summer movie in recent memory. The exuberant colors and the sense of gleeful, self-aware escapism scream Besson’s name. The trailer also shouts the names of comic book writer Pierre Christin and illustrator by Jean-Claude Mézières, the two artists responsible for creat…

Director: Joe DeMuro Release date: 2015Contains spoilers If we class Tales of Dracula as a fan film – which it most assuredly is, given that the film has clearly been created with a fan's touch – then it isn't a bad effort. If we view it through the same critical lens we'd reserve for more professional fare then perhaps it struggles a tad. But with an estimated budget of $ 20,000 they have managed to pull off more than one would expect. The film harks back to the Universal pictures of yore and there are plenty of references for the fans. The use of black and white probably hides some issues, the physical effects can be surprisingly good and whilst the cgi is obvious it is better than some. The film starts with a voiceover by Von Helsing (Mickey Ray) who relays how he was called to England to help a family plagued by Dracula (Wayne W. Johnson). We see a ship, the Chamberlain, sailing. Dracula is racing home but concurrently, in Transylvania, one Father Boris (Jay Novelli) …
